2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Launched At ₹1.49 Lakh, Receives New Features

Bajaj has quietly introduced the 2025 Pulsar NS160, bringing a host of updates previously seen on the Pulsar NS200. Priced at ₹1.49 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), the new Pulsar NS160 is just ₹1,000 more expensive than its predecessor.

The most notable changes include a complete overhaul of the lighting and instrumentation. The dated halogen headlamps have been replaced with full LED headlight, matching the design of the NS200. A new fully digital instrument cluster now comes standard, featuring Bluetooth connectivity with call and SMS alerts, turn-by-turn navigation, and comprehensive ride reporting through the Bajaj Ride Connect app.

Adding to its technological prowess, the new Pulsar NS160 now offers three ride modes – Road, Rain, and Off-road. These modes do not alter the motorcycle's performance but adjust ABS intervention levels to suit different terrain conditions. Colour options have also been refreshed with the introduction of a Cocktail Wine Red option, alongside the Ebony Black, Pearl Metallic White, and Pewter Grey.

Mechanically, the 2025 Pulsar NS160 remains unchanged. It retains its 160.3 cc, oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine delivering 16.96 bhp at 9,000 rpm and 14.6 Nm at 7,250 rpm. The bike continues to use a perimeter frame with USD fork and monoshock suspension, and maintains its 300 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brake setup with dual-channel ABS as standard.
